One of the perks of being a star is that when it comes to Halloween costumes, you’ve got the resources available to go all out. Showstopping makeup? Done. Impossibly detailed princess dresses? No problem. Additional limbs, heads, or other appendages? Got you covered. How we wish we were in that same boat!

But hey, even if we don’t have a professional makeup artist on our speed dial, we can still draw some inspiration from these celebs’ fantabulous costumes. From one of Heidi Klum’s best costumes to one of Chris Colfer’s most creative ones and from Fergie’s custom-made creation to Zachary Quinto’s last-minute masterpiece, these 13 costumes really lit up the night in years gone by. We wonder what they’re all planning on dressing up as this year? We can’t wait to find out!
